The eighth season of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars premiered on Paramount+ on May 12, 2023.[1] The series continues with RuPaul as host and judge, with returning judges Michelle Visage, Carson Kressley, and Ross Mathews joined by Ts Madison on the judging panel. The season's premiere date was announced in a brief teaser trailer aired during the finale of the fifteenth season of RuPaul's Drag Race.[2] The cast was revealed on April 20.[3]
The season features a new twist to the show's format: In addition to competing for a spot in the Drag Race Hall of Fame, a parallel competition for the title of "Queen of the Fame Games" took place. Over the course of the season, runway looks from the eliminated contestants were shown during Untucked, and at the end of the season, fans voted for one eliminated queen to win a $60,000 prize (originally announced as $50,000).[4]
The winner of the eighth season of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars was Jimbo. Kandy Muse was the runner-up. LaLa Ri won the "Queen of the Fame Games" title.
